And is that a ball retriever and one of those little scrub brushes for your irons i see attached on his bag as well?

I'm betting against him after seeing those headcovers.

Is the brush in the same league as iron covers and ball retrievers now?

Most definitely.

One of those "you know you're in for a long day" sorts of things when you see a guy with one. Played with a guy a few wks ago who cleaned his irons with that little wire brush after EVERY shot.

Then proceeded to shoot about 105��

I have a brush, clean my irons after every shot, takes less time than most people whine over their poorly struck shots....I break 80 pretty much all the time, must be cuz my grooves are clean.

I would agree 1000%. My ocd, doesn't allow dirty clubs back in the bag... I actually have a small flip-top, bottle with some soapy water that I use to spray the head then brush, then wipe with MF Towel.. 15 Sec tops..
Meanwhile players who have 2 min pre-shot routines never even notice.. lol

So if I understand you correctly, you have a 3 step process after you hit each club: 1) spray club head,2) scrub club head with brush and 3) dry clubhead with towel. WHEW!!

You say it’s only 15 seconds per club, but multiply that times 90 shots and you’ve just added another 25-30 mins to everyone’s round. Then everyone else in your foursome starts doing the same and you’ve got a complete cluster F.

No offense, but the guys in my group wouldn’t stand for that, nor would most golfers.

We have a guy in our group that started to use the little brush bucket at the side of the cart to clean his clubs after EVERY shot and then that morphed into a process of hit, scrub, dry etc after every shot. There is simply no need to clean a club after each and every shot and to that level.

There’s a reason processional caddies simply carry a towel. One side wet, one side dry. Looks professional and it works.

it's possible he does it while others are playing their shots, which would add approximately 0 minutes to the overall round.

Duh. Yep, as he said he probably has plenty of time while the other wannabe "pros" are going through their pre-shot routine.

Yeah, I didn't realize that having clean clubs wasn't cool these days. It still amazes me how many people don't realize that it's not golf balls that wear down grooves. It's the dirt in between the club and the ball that causes wear.

I couldn't imagine what a wedge would look like after an entire round without cleaning it. Would there be any visible grooves, or would they be covered in dirt?

Now true story. I usually don't clean my sand and lob wedge grooves. Helps control spin . Sometimes so caked I have to wet it first to loosen the dirt up. Lol.
Tools not jewels.

And I darn sure ain't going to clean the grooves on my 3 and 4 irons--- And you know why Blade

Same, but you don't want anything lumpy on the club face, of course. I "squeegee" the dirt off the face and into the grooves with the toe of my shoe. For shots that require spin, they get the wet towel to clean the grooves. The cheaper the towel, the better...scratchey terrycloth works best, like the back side of my Tour Issue JaniKing towel ;-).

Lol, that is news to me. But, if you don't have one, how do you clean your irons/wedges during a round?

Would seem more difficult to dig dirt out of the grooves with a tee that doesn't fit wouldn't it?

I admittedly use one. Always have. Everyone I know does. This is the first I've heard it mentioned in the same e breath as a ball retriever. Seems too convenient to get the sand, dirt, and grass out of the grooves with a couple swipes.

I didn't realize this was a big deal until a few months ago when my new instructor was poking fun at one of the new kids. This guy played on tour and just started laughing. Funny thing is, this is the best kid in our group.
